Bennett BOLT 1212ED Edge Mount Electric Trim Tabs

The Bennett BOLT 1212ED Edge Mount Electric Trim Tabs is a complete electric trim tab system built around 12 x 12-inch edge-mount planes and Bennett BOLT actuators. Electric actuation gives the operator direct control of stern lift without a hydraulic pump or fluid lines, making the system a clean way to correct list, reduce bow rise, and tune the boat’s running attitude.

Independent port and starboard adjustment lets the driver compensate for uneven passenger or gear loads while also changing fore-and-aft trim. Used correctly, the tabs can help the boat plane sooner, remain on plane at lower speeds, reduce porpoising, and soften the ride when chop or loading makes the hull run inefficiently.

The BOLT architecture is designed for straightforward installation and service with water-resistant electric actuators at the transom. This version should be selected when its plane size and mounting geometry suit the hull, transom space, and performance needs of the boat. Worth comparing against our other Bennett.

• Electric tabs add stern lift during acceleration for a flatter transition onto plane.
• Independent tab movement lets the operator compensate for uneven loading.
• BOLT actuators provide direct electric movement at the transom.
• Small adjustments can help reduce porpoising and pounding while improving hull attitude.
• The BOLT design keeps actuation and control simpler than a comparable hydraulic installation.
